Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi has joined Marseille for a reported £9m after a successful loan spell with the French club.

The club exercised a clause in the player's contract to make the move permanent.

Guendouzi made 82 appearances for Arsenal, but last played for them in June 2020.

The announcement came on the same day manager Jorge Sampaoli left Marseille.
